Rubber has a tendency to degrade over time, so fitting the 996 with new wheels and tires was naturally the first step in the revival. Much like choosing the right heels to match that little black dress can make or break an outfit, the right wheels can do the same for the look of a car. Opting for a look that spoke to both sport and luxury, Ron looked to Forgestar for the turbo’s new shoes. Considering the deep black paint on this beast from Stuttgart, a Gunmetal finished set of wheels was an excellent compliment.

It’s been said that a seven spoke design is one of the strongest shapes in wheel design, so the split-seven spoke design evokes the element of speed present in Competition Motorsports wheels, as if it’s ready to jump on the Autobahn rather than the 57 freeway. The deep concave up front is pretty aggressive, too.

However, the concave up front is nothing next to the depth on the rear. The F14’s design is a great fit for the naturally wide rear end and voluptuous hipline of the Turbo 996. The specs Ron opted for with the 996 were:Wheel: Forgestar F14 – Gloss GunmetalFront: 19×8.5 semi concave [SC]Rear: 19×12 super deep concave [SDC]
